Cannot access other machines within the LAN zone

Ed Reed1

I've just setup a new XG125, it's running 18.5.1. This is my first Sophos firewall and during the initial setup wizard, I basically just accepted all the defaults. I enabled ports 4 thru 8 to bridge with port 1, the LAN port. Port 2, the WAN port, is connection to fiber MPOE. All computers and devices in the LAN zone seem to be able to access the WAN with no problem but there's no connectivity between computers and devices within the LAN zone. No access to file shares, no access to shared or networked printers, no RDP access between computers, I can't access the web interfaces of the WAP or NAS devices, etc. I have no idea where to begin looking to resolve this. Please advise.

    Hi,

    You need to create a firewall rule LAN, any, Lan, any, allow all, log. Then you need to workout whether you really need to bridge all those ports.

    Thanks, Creating the rule worked. Any idea why this wouldn't be in a default allow rule? It seems so obvious to me that machines in the LAN zone should be able to communicate between one another by default.

    Hi,

    please remember when you are working with most firewalls, the default is block so you need to make a conscious security decision to allow traffic to flow through the firewall.
